The object of my device ils to mairie astove' iriwlviic'hthefflaming filel vcan [be made .slectii-'eiyiextern'lly visible? .Aflfurther object 1s to make a stove having a door with glazed openings formed thereon and means A ror selectively excluding the glazed openings from external visibility. A further object 1s to make a stove having a door hingedly secured to the dome of the stove and a. false door secured to the main door in spaced relationship so that the false door Will form a closure for an opening in the stove frame and a slide positioned between the main door and the false door, the main door having glazed openings and means for moving the slide in front of and selectively away from the glazed openings.

lVith these and other objects in view, my invention has relation to certain novel features of construction and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter more fully described, pointed out in the claims and illustrated in the drawings in which,

Fig. 1 is a front elevation of my stove. Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional elevation on the line'2-2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a sectional elevation on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is an enlarged rear elevation of the door of the stove on the line 4 4 of Fig. 3,

3o and Fig. 5 is a longitudinal sectional elevation on the line 5-5 of Fig. 3. Numeral 6 designates the stove proper having the legs 7, the frame 8 and the dome 9. The dome 9 confines the fuel and provides a space for combustion. No attempt has been made t0 show any portion of the stove other than the door and frame surrounding t-he door. Numeral 10 designates a dome door and numeral 11 a false or front door. On the dome door 10 are formed the lugs 12. On the false door 11 are formed the lugs 13. The lugs 12 and the lugs 13 are placed in Contact with each other. By means of screws 14 the lugs 12 are selectively permanently attached to the lugs 13, thereby securing the dome door 10 to the false or front door 11 in spaced relationship. In the dome door 1() are formed the glazed openings 15. In the false or front door 11 immediately in front of the glazed openings 15 is formed the open grille work 16. Numeral 17 designates the conventional handle and lock for selectively locking the dome door 10 to the dome 9. This handle and lock are of the usual type. Formed on the inner face of the false door 11 and parallel to the lateral edges are the ribs 1811 1neral'119 designatesfa-'slide 'rb-.annie @esteemed-between the adme door-` 11() lend'ltncr-alseor 'fronti door 11 tand between the ribs 18 and is of substantially the same Snape and dimension as the glazed opening 15 of the dome door 1S. In the open grille work 16 centrally located is formed the vertical slot 19. Numeral 20 designates a knob secured to a bolt 21, which bolt passes through the slot 19 and is secured to the upper edge of the slide 19. It will be seen that by moving t-he knob 20 vertically that the slide 19 Will be moved vertically and that when the knob 20 is moved to its highest position that the slide 19 will be immediately behind the open grille work 16 and'preventthe glazed openings 15 of the dome door 10 from being externally visible. Vhen the slide 19 is positioned at its lower position the glazed openings 15 will be externally visible through the open grille work 16.

It will thus be seen that a person desirin to view the burning coals or other fuel in the stove can d o so by opening the slide 19 and that when`lie does not desire to observe them and desires to shut off the light from the burning fuel and to retard the radiation of heat from Ythe fuel to the room, he simply closes the slide 19. The only important thing is that the dome door must be secured behind the open portion of the false or front door. Likewise the dome door could be positioned onone side of the false door and the slide 19 moved in and out laterally instead of vertically' to produce the desired result. In order to secure the dome door 10 and hence the false door 11 to the dome 9, the hinge 22 is employed which is secured to the dome at 23 and to the dome door at 24. The hinges are of the conventional type permit-ting the dome door to swing outwardly suficiently far so that in opening the false door 11 will not engage the frame 8.

What I claim and mean to secure by Letters Patent is,

1. In combination with a stove, a door comprising a dome door having a glazed opening and a false door having an opening, the dome door and false door being secured together in spaced relationship so that the glazed openings of the dome door will be adjacent the opening in the false door, a slide slidably secured on said false door, said dome door hingedly secured to the dome of said stove.

2. In combination with a stove,-a donic door, said dome door hingedly secured to the I dome of said stove, a false door secured in spaced relationship with said dome door, a slide positioned between ribs formed on said false door and between said false door and said dome door, and means for selectively locking said dome door to the dome of said stove. .Y

3. A stove door comprising a dome door and a false door secured together in spaced relationship, glazed openings formed in said dmedoor and open grille work formed in said false door said open grille work having a slot formed therein, a slide slidably secured between said dome door and said false door, a knob, a bolt, said knob secured to said bolt and said bolt passing through the slot in the-open grille work of said false door and secured at its inner end to the one edge of said slide.

In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature.
